Description
An updated version of Mat Mania released in 1986, a year after
the original. The main difference between it and the original is
the addition of a two-player competitive mode. The first player
takes control of the main character from the original game, now
named Dynamite Tommy, while the second player controls a new
character named Hurricane Joe, who plays identically to Tommy.
Mania Challenge also features several countering techniques to
the player's moveset from Mat Mania such as countering a
headlock with an atomic drop or a suplex, or throwing drop kicks.
However, the character roster was reduced to only three opponents
in the single player mode: the Insane Warrior, the Golden Hulk and
the other player character controlled by the computer (Dynamite
Tommy or Hurricane Joe); repeating those three opponents in
subsequent loops.
